WORDS FROM OUR FOUNDER
I dreamt of being a standard bearer in the broadcasting industry, and with the blessings of my family I achieved my American Dream.
Touchdown Media is a thriving, multicultural advertising agency. While building the business, I’ve honored my Indian and American cultures through a number of initiatives that would engage several communities throughout the country. SAEF was born out of my company’s ambition to transform the story of Indians in the United States.
Despite humble beginnings, the programs we’ve created at SAEF have become an invaluable, positive force to millions of Indian Americans by providing a platform to ensure our contributions are known to all Americans.
SAEF is a platform to grow programs and reach greater heights that further assimilate the broader American society with our community. Please support us if you are inspired.
